Futures Trading Levels and Economic Reports for Novemeber 9th 2010

We started out the week with slow trading day and narrow range on stock index futures.

I got a “small sell signal” on mini Dow, which I would like to see a bit more down move before acting on it, simply because volume was not sufficient enough to confirm a good probability of a correction. However, while the probability for down move is not big, the risk reward with a stop above the previous high is not bad….

FOMC to Provide Futures Trading Market with Direction, September 21st, 2010

FOMC tomorrow around 2:15 Eastern time. Even before that we will start the day with some important housing numbers. FOMC days have different characteristics than other trading days. If you have traded for a while, check your trading notes from past FOMC days that may help you prepare for tomorrow. If you are a newcomer, take a more conservative approach and make sure you understand that the news can really move the market. My observations suggest choppy, low volume up until announcement, followed by some some sharp volatile moves right during and after the announcement. I am including 5 minutes chart from August 10th of this year, which was the last FOMC we had for your reference.

Best Trading Practices: Always Ask Your Futures Broker July 30th 2010

“Last Trading day of the month tomorrow.”

At any time traders, especially self directed futures traders, must be aware of first notice day, last trading, economic reports etc.

Tomorrow is first notice day for August Gold futures contract – As your futures and commodity broker we try our best to keep many of you informed via this daily blog but always make sure you contact your futures broker with any questions you may have.

Daily chart of September e-mini Dow Jones below for review. I am not sure about direction to be honest. Both bulls and bears have a case and at this point we are trading in a band between 10293 and 10536, which is a wide trading range.
